I won't get the chance of a second curacy, so at that point it will be time to start scouring the sits. vac in the Church Times, and praying hard.<BR/>As to the Office, we use the provision for Morning and Evening Prayer in Common Worship Daily Prayer,-and I'm pretty sure there is a link at the C of E website, but I've not chased it up this evening.
